Oh, well.
A test in Chrome v43 (Mac) showed that the color profile -- even if
tagged -- is not recognized in my background-image, regardless of
whether the image is saved as .png or .jpg (and even if background-color
is disabled).

Color management in browsers is a crap shoot. Only Firefox allows the
specific interpretation of CSS/element color as sRGB (and that's with
a non-default setting); so for the most part, CSS/element color on
wide-gamut displays look hideously oversaturated.
This got me wondering about an alternative approach to setting
background-color: that is, to set background colors with an
sRGB-tagged, one-pixel image set to cover.
EXAMPLE:
.myColoredElement {
background-color:rgb(255,0,0); /* redundant, but included; would
not be color-managed in most browsers */
background-image:url(PATH_TO_1_PIXEL_PNG_OF_sRGB-TAGGED_RED.png);
background-size:cover;
}
Any thoughts?
